Nokogiri Kuwagata

This is a free range version of the Kuwagata. Viewed up close it was satisfying to see how grubby he was, lots of mud clinging to the carapace. Perhaps that was from digging his way out from the underground grubdom that preceded his metamorphosis. Judging from the discount shop commercial this looks like a Nokogiri Kuwagata, but I wouldn't swear to it. The mosquito mesh he is standing on is a grid of squares of about 2mm, so not to hard to tell he would be an uncomfortable bedfellow.
